    Hi all, the rear brake calipers are rattling on my 06 Caddy. The slider pins and carrier are worn, now, can the sleeve on the carrier be replaced, it looks like a sleeve that is pressed into carrier. I'm sure I can get new slider pins. I'm reluctant to go to breakers as parts will probably be as worn as my own (175k). If I have to buy new parts I'm sure the main stealers will fleece me...

    You're sure you're not missing an anti rattle clip?
    When mine lost it's springiness it sounded like some was was smashing glass bottles together when I was driving over bumps, until I braked and then was silent

    If its the clips on the brake pads, they are intact. I dismantled pins today and regreased but still a lot of play in pins and carrier. 68 + vat for new carrier and pins. Maybe I'll look online.

    I got calipers etc from this crowd a few years ago, I did a drum - disc conversion on an audi 80.
